Low Fat Poached Fish

Fish is healthy, low in fat, and high in protein, phosphate and Omega 3 fish oil (which is known as ‘brain food’). You should eat fish twice a week to get all the necessary nutrients your body needs.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 kg fish fillet
• 1/2 cup of white wine
• 1/4 cup of lemon juice
• Mixed herbs to taste, including ground pepper

Method:

Mix the wine and lemon and then simmer in a pan and cover with a lid.

Cut the fish fillet into 4 equal portions, and put them in the pan with the lemon and wine mix.

Add your favourite mixed herbs and cover, simmering till the fish goes flaky, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the type of fish you're cooking.

And that's that! In less than 20 minutes you have prepared a delicious low fat poached fish for 4.

How's that for efficiency?

You can have your poached fish with a nice combination of tasty steamed vegies. That would leave you with enough room to indulge in some delicious low fat dessert and even a couple of fruits. Yum!
